EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Lance Dracaena Orchid, Dracaena Aubryana, a rare and beautiful plant that once graced the gardens and hothouses of Europe during the 19th century. The intricate details of the orchid's delicate petals, which resemble the sharp points of a lance, are expertly rendered in vibrant colors by the skilled hands of Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Lance Dracaena Orchid, also known as Dracaena Aubryana, is a native of Madagascar and was first discovered by French botanist Alfred Aubry in 1854. This orchid is characterized by its long, slender leaves and its unique, elongated flowers, which can grow up to 12 inches in length. The plant's flowers come in various shades of pink, purple, and white, and their striking appearance has made them a popular addition to botanical collections throughout Europe. This lithograph is taken from the esteemed publication "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," or "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," which was published in Ghent, Belgium, between 1862 and 1865. The work was produced by the renowned botanical illustrators Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, who were known for their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to capture the essence of their subjects in their artwork. The Lance Dracaena Orchid is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and this stunning lithograph serves as a reminder of the important role that botanical illustrations played in documenting and preserving the world's plant species during the Victorian era. Today, this rare and captivating orchid continues to inspire wonder and admiration among plant enthusiasts and collectors alike.
